Default 90 Accord Died While Driving, Will Crank, But NOT Start.

Ok So I was driving my car the other day, I had just put gas in, started it up, started driving, went about a mile, and the RPMs dropped to 0 along with Speedometer.....I turned the car off, and back to acc so I could coast onto the side of the road safely....

Since than I try to start it, it crank, but wont start.....and I am NOT getting a Spark...

I tried the Ignition Coil, wasnt that....WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE???

Any help is appreciated...

I wasnt aware the 1990 Accord LX had a MAF ....

Check the ignitor? Or whole distributor?

I opened oil cap, crank engine, everything moved fine inside, so i doubt its the tbelt....

I replaced ignition coil, cap and rotor, still nothing....im thinking ignitor or the dizzy overall...
